@na494866: "An odd question perhaps in view of our current sunny weather conditions, but 
does anyone know how the busway will be kept clear from snow and ice come 
the winter, when operational?"
    @na494866: "Thanks very much Theo - very helpful. I was beginning to wonder if I was 
going to get a straight answer to this one!

I'm sorry I didn't realise it was a serious question. "

Surely the serious question is will it ever be operational?

The latest problem, as quoted in Coach and Bus Week, is that someone 
forgot to provide the safety certificate for the electrical bits, so 
there'll be a delay until they do.
Tciao for Now!

That shouldn't be a problem in the Cambridge case, as the busway is only 
part of the route, with a couple of miles of normal drivng at both ends. 
ICBW, but isn't the Runcorn one the entire route, pretty well from the 
town centre bus station to the terminus?
Tciao for Now!

Talked to a Runcorn busdriver a few years ago. He said that some 
drivers preferred to drive on the busway, others on normal roads and 
the company allowed them their choice.
